"You want to ask why Lucy hasn't come to see me after learning the truth, right?" Jane asked.Andrew said, "Maybe Ms. Lucille just needs some time to process everything. It might be hard for her to accept this in such a short time."Jane looked at the greenery outside, seemingly having expected this. She smiled with the slightest hint of bitterness. "I should've thought of this. I knew she wouldn't accept it so easily.""But Ms. Lucille hasn't stopped searching for the truth over the years. That means she cares about you."Jane said, "Sometimes, one's mindset can do a complete turn after learning the truth."Andrew didn't know how to respond to that."I've hidden too much from her." Jane knew what was troubling Lucille now. "She must hate me for not taking her away from the Johnsons despite being alive.""You had your reasons, miss. I'm sure Ms. Lucille would understand that." Andrew frowned.She chuckled. "Knowing her, she won't accept whatever reasons I have, no matter how re

Just then, the bathroom door swung open.Lucille choked on her spit and clamped a hand over her mouth as she coughed. She saw Spencer approach her, fresh from the shower with nothing but a towel around his waist. God!She knew he had an amazing figure, but she'd yet to get sick of ogling him. In fact, the longer she stared at him, the more she loved him.He had broad shoulders and a trim waist. With clothes on, he looked toned and taut. With them off, his washboard abs were on full display.She didn't know where he found the time to workout when he was always so busy. Either way, she'd never seen him in the gym before.His toned body, flawless skin, chiseled features, and deep-set eyes made him seem wild, unrestrained, sexy, and charming. The water droplets on his body glimmered under the lights. They only added to his allure.Lucille suddenly snapped to her senses when Spencer was only a couple of steps away from her. She held up her hand to stop him from coming closer. "Hold it

Lucille knocked on the door and asked, "Do you need me to help you, honey?"Spencer didn't answer."Honey, are you okay?"She was most definitely doing it on purpose. He was so disciplined and rational that she was starting to doubt herself."Ho—"The door swung open with the water still running. Lucille abruptly met Spencer's dark gaze. Then, she looked down at his naked body and flushed in embarrassment."I… I brought you your clothes. You…" She held up the clothes.He narrowed his eyes at her, not giving her the chance to finish. He reached out and pulled her into his arms.She immediately shuddered. He felt like a block of ice."Since you sounded so earnest when you asked whether I needed your help…" He looked into her eyes. "…I'll tell you now that I need it badly!""Wait, no. I can explain, honey—" Lucille started. Spencer didn't let her get any further."You know how people always say that an explanation is nothing but a cover-up?" he asked. "I know I'm not the only o

Ethan was taken aback for several seconds. Who had invented the wheel? He answered seriously, "No one in particular. It was a gradual process. I'm not an idiot, you know. I graduated from a reputable university with good grades. I—"Suddenly, he heard Lucille laugh in the backseat. At the same time, he saw Kent holding back his laughter in the driver's seat. Only then did he realize what Spencer had meant.He pointed at Spencer and said, "I get it now. You're calling me a third wheel!"Spencer didn't answer. Instead, he gave Ethan a look that explained everything.Despite knowing that he was the biggest third wheel around, Ethan refused to shut up. Even if Spencer and Lucille ignored him, he still had plenty to say.Lucille couldn't help thinking Ethan and Seth would make a good pair. Their personalities and gifts for gab made them quite similar.Finally, Ethan said something that Spencer and Lucille were interested in. "Oh, right. I received news this morning that the person in

Things at Sparrow Residence were lively, thanks to the sudden influx of visitors.Spencer had called Herbert earlier to inform him Lucille was being discharged. Herbert had instructed the maids to clean every corner of the manor to welcome Lucille home. Lana had also kept busy in the kitchen all day, preparing Lucille's favorite dishes and desserts.This was Bailey's first time at Sparrow Residence. She made Lucas show her around but wanted to give up halfway through the tour."I can't do it anymore!" Bailey crouched on the floor unceremoniously. She cried, "I don't want to walk anymore. I can't walk anymore!"Lucas turned to look at her, feeling amused yet resigned. She was the one who'd asked for a tour earlier. Now, she was complaining about being too tired to continue. They'd only covered 10% of the estate.She said, "This place is so huge that it's almost ridiculous. I finally have an idea of how rich Mr. Layton really is."Lucas asked, "Are you jealous?"She looked up at h
